SEPTEMBER 19, 2010 | VOLCOM VQS COOTERFISH | OUTER BANKS, NC
Big weekend in the Outer Banks with guys from all over the east coast coming out trying to get a piece of Hurricane Igor! Friday the swell filled in with 4 to 6 foot surf but unfortunately the wind did not cooperate for the contest. Instead of the winds being west as was originally forecasted it decided to go hard out of the NE making for junky conditions but still some fun 4 to 5ft choppy wedges!
We had a blast regardless throughout the day talking smack and having fun with the kids! Some corndogging with ketchup, mustard, and flour went down along with some beach clean ups for gear from Electric and Volcom. Early in the day Electric rider Nick Bland punted a huge front-side air out into the flats and was one of the only airs we saw throughout the day earning him the win for the Electric Volt throw walking with an extra $100 bucks!
Early afternoon it got really fun with the higher tide making for some really fun finals! At the end of the day Electric had 3 wins and 5 finalist! In the grom division we had Electric rider Dylan Mincher took 3rd place getting beat out by Quentin Turke for 2nd and Electric rider Daniel Glenn taking the win all the way from New Smyrna, FL! Daniel ripped the entire contest winning every heat through the final! Our Electric ladies were ripping as well taking both 1st and 2nd places!! Wilmington, NC’s Darsha Pigford took 2nd place getting beat out by Electric teammate and hometown chica Kim Diggs!
The pro final was funny as hell with guest announcing by Alex Grey but hard as hell to judge with the nonstop action going down! I’m not sure which was more fun? Local hero Jesse Hines ended up taking the win by a hair sitting a bit north waiting for the bomb lefts taking out VB’s Lucas Rogers and becoming $2000 richer! Following up in 3rd was fellow local hero Noah Snyder, 4th place went to Electric rider Mark Yonkers out Wrightsville Beach, NC and last but not least 5th place went to local boy contest standout Seth Barrick!
All the boys and girls came out to get creepy for the after party at Goombays with free food and beer compliments of Volcom! Good time had by all!!!! Till next time!
